What it is
This is a type of mozzarella cheese that has been infused with smoke. Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese traditionally made from Italian buffalo milk. The smoking process adds a distinct, savory flavor and a slightly firmer texture compared to unsmoked mozzarella. It is conveniently packaged in individual sticks, making it easy to grab and enjoy.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular mozzarella, this version has undergone a smoking process. This imparts a deeper, more complex flavor profile with notes of wood smoke. The texture may also be slightly less yielding than fresh mozzarella, offering a bit more resistance when bitten.
